The thing is stiff though, I'm really impressed by how it rides. Just my 2c
That would most likely have been intended as a grass track bike, similar to the Dolan. The Arena 7005/alloy/whatever they call it now is very low at the front end. My 57cm (now given as 61 I think) has a 12cm headtube and given stack of about 50cm. Quite long reach, very low front.
